When it comes to reality TV shows, it can be difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction.

Geordie Shore, which is famous for explosive arguments and dramatic love triangles, is at the centre of a scripting scandal after an apparent "script" was leaked on Twitter.

It appears that a member of Geordie Shore’s production team left some script notes behind in a cafe after filming in Newcastle.

The alleged script describes a scene in a nail salon between the girls and Nathan. 

"Get some funny chat from Nathan and Marnie informing the newbies that if they are proper Geordies then they need to be properly preened,” the opening lines dictate. 

The script continues on to prompt the group into discussing Chloe Ferry's shock departure from the show. 

The 21-year-old was "axed" from the hit MTV show after physically attacking new cast mate Zahida.

The script prompts the cast to discuss this, saying: " Chloe didn’t get annoyed about Sarah kissing Marty at work but was livid with Zahida – why do they think that is?”

The script also seems to reveal a previously undisclosed story line between Marnie, Aaron and new girl Abbie.

"Marnie knows Abbie likes Aaron so watch these 2 – don’t want it coming out here really, better at night."

It seems that the script is encouraging a confrontation between Marnie and Abbie on a night out, in true Geordie style.

MTV has declined to comment on the matter.

If there's one thing millennials really, really care about, it's – wait for it – emojis.

And while we all know no message is complete without one, we didn't realise the extent of our generation's passion for them until Apple had the audacity to remove the original peach emoji.

In a move which had everyone up in arms recently, the tech giant released a batch of redesigned emojis for its iOS 10.2 software and ultimately forced us to use a peach emoji which looked like a peach… and not a big, curvy bum.

Like, some people literally have no chill.

Taking to social media to demand the return of the original, members of the public paid tribute to the emoji which did much to strengthen our skills in the sexting department… and Apple actually listened!

The global corporation released a new beta version of iOS 10.2 to developers on Monday, and we can confirm that the peach emoji is officially back.

It's big, it's round and it looks like the bum we all know and love.

And all is right with the world.

We know Scarlett Moffatt as the good-humoured gal from Gogglebox whose relationship with her parents puts ours to shame, but if her recent admission is anything to go by, Scarlett endured a lot during her formative years.

The 25-year-old, who is already on course to take the crown on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, recently revealed that she was the victim of bullying at school – something which she addresses in a very matter-of-fact manner.

"I think it was the monobrow, and teeth that could chew an apple through a letterbox." she said. "I was really ugly."

"Even as a kid when I was 11 or 12, I wasn’t like the other kids in the school – I still wore my hair in pigtails. No wonder I got picked on."

And if that wasn't heartbreaking enough, the Geordie girl then went on to suggest that in addition to her looks, her interests may have also spurred bullies on, saying: "I was really weird and I believed in aliens."

Thankfully, the popular TV star experienced some respite when she moved schools, but insists it wasn't because she attempted to conform.

"I still didn’t try to fit in but, luckily, everyone was nicer there. You can’t please everyone all the time."

Scarlett then gave an insight into the thought process which resulted in the no-holds-barred woman we know and love today.

"Being bullied made me realise that people will like you or not like you anyway, so you might as well be yourself and say exactly what you think."

God, if we didn't love her enough already.

Three years on from her dramatic Geordie Shore departure, recently returned Sophie Kasaei has reportedly been removed from the show for a second time.

According to The Mirror, the 27-year-old was asked to leave the house after becoming involved in the same argument which led to Chloe Ferry’s shock exit.

But it seems Sophie’s punishment may be less permanent than Chloe’s as The Sun has reported that Sophie has denied any wrongdoing.

A source told the site: “Sophie hasn’t been axed.  Her friends and family have been really worried about her.”

“She’s horrified to have been implicated in this row…She had absolutely nothing to do with it.”

Yesterday, it emerged Chloe Ferry had been “axed” from the controversial reality series for lashing out at her new housemate, Zahida Allen.

It is alleged that Chloe attacked Zahida after seeing her holding hands with Marty McKenna.

At this stage, we all know that our capital city is a hive of activity when it comes to cafés, eateries and coffee shops, with a new one popping up almost every week.

While we all have our favourites dotted around the city, the good folk behind the European Coffee Symposium have the final word when it comes to the biggest and brightest in Europe.

And it looks like one particular Dublin spot has made an impression on those in the know, earning itself a nomination for Best Independent Coffee Shop in Europe.

Step forward 3fe.

The coffee shop, which is located on Lower Grand Canal Street and Sussex Terrace, is in with a chance of walking away with the prestigious award following the event which takes place in Budapest next week.

Jostling for first place against just two other nominees, the Dublin coffee shop is up against Bocca Coffee Roasters from Amsterdam and Colanna & Smalls from Bath in the UK.

We have our fingers crossed.

She’s drifted between auburn and strawberry blonde shades with ease, but Bella Thorne has now ditched those subtle hues in favour of a more daring look.

The former Disney star took to Instagram yesterday to reveal the effects of an intense red dye job, one which was finished with a solid dose of highlighter green dip-dye.

The 19-year-old actress was not alone in making this drastic transition as she was joined by her sister Dani who displayed their matching tresses online.

It's seems like the young and innocent days of Miley Cyrus has long passed, and while the Hannah Montana alum is killing it at the moment, we miss her early feel-good, preppy music.

Well, we might be able to get the best of both worlds (geddit?!) now that Miley's younger sister Noah has just debuted her first track.

Teaming up with Labrinth, Noah released Make Me Cry today, and it's pretty good… Very Miley á la 2009.

It's way more mature and developed compared to what Miley first came out with, which is a very good thing if Noah wants to stay in the industry.

 

so happy to finally share this. my new song #MakeMeCry feat. @labrinth is out now!!! link in my bio

If the latest reports are to be believed, Chloe Ferry is no longer a member of the Geordie Shore family, after being fired for attacking a co-star.

According to The Sun, the 21-year-old was “axed” from the infamous reality show on Sunday night for lashing out at her new co-star after seeing Zahida holding hands with her former lover Marty McKenna.

A source told the site:  “Chloe was completely mortal. She kicked off in the club after seeing Marty holding hands with Zahida.  She was totally rage.”

And today, the reality star finally took to social media, and shared quite a strange post considering the rumours surrounding her.

Chloe posted a selfie to promote fake lashes and simply wrote, "Lash EDEN."

And her fans were quick to comment, with one follower writing, "have you been sacked from Geordie Shore pet? If so I'll stop watching," and another saying, "It won't be the same without you."

We're guessing we're going to have to wait until Geordie Shore comes out to see what actually happened.

After teasing it for more than a year, Mariah Carey's holiday collection is nearly here.

And trust us, it's everything you imagined: sparkle, glitter and diamonds.

The collection is absolutely perfect for Christmas; gold and bronze eye shadows, sparkly lipstick and a smashing bronzer – we're even in love with the glitter packaging.

The singer took to Twitter to share the glimpse of her new range.

She wrote: "I'm so excited to finally share my full @MACcosmetics collection – coming in December. Add it to your holiday wish list #MACMariahCarey."

We'll admit, we'll be buying one or two bits from the collection for our Chrimbo nights out.

Whatsapp is easily the messenger of choice for us Millennials, but is its new feature going a bit backwards?

The texting app has introduced video calling, and say it's just like Skype and FaceTime.

Now, in this day and age, many of us are guilty of ignoring a text or blocking a call, but along with the apps new tagging feature, it looks like our phones are constantly going to be buzzing away.

In a statement, the app's rep said, "We know that sometimes voice and text just aren't enough," but aren't they? Isn't that why Whatsapp became so popular?!

It could be handy for many people, but when we're sitting on the couch in our jammies and have Sudocrem all over our faces, we certainly won't be answering any video calls.

Do you think you'll use it?

Plus sized model Ashley Graham has been immortalised in plastic by Barbie manufacturer Mattel.

It's been a pretty great year for the model, who was honoured at the Glamour Women of the Year awards for her work as a body positive activist, as well as becoming the first plus size woman to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated

The super model worked with the toy company to create the relatable doll, after disclosing in an interview earlier this year that she was proud of Mattel for producing more size-inclusive Barbie dolls. 

"She had to have her thighs touch. No ands, ifs or buts about it. And I asked for cellulite but obviously plastic and cellulite don't go hand in hand," she shared with the Hollywood Reporter.

"It was important that the Barbie resembled me as much as possible. The thighs touching was one way to show young girls that it is OK for your thighs to touch, despite society saying that a 'thigh gap' is more beautiful."

Mattel is is not currently planning on selling the Ashley doll, but previously the company received such a positive response to its Sheroes, a line of Barbies who represent strong women, that they inevitably produced them after initially not intending to.  

 

Come on @Barbie, let's go party!!!Thank you to my new and incredible @Mattel family for this honor! #beautybeyondsize #barbie #curvybarbie

A video posted by A S H L E Y G R A H A M (@theashleygraham) on

For her Barbie outfit, the model chose to exactly replicate one of her New York Fashion Week looks, a sparkly bodycon dress paired with a Sonia Rykiel patched denim jacket, and spiky stiletto Pierre Hardy boots.

"Would I have looked at my body differently if I were playing with Barbies that looked like me? Would I have accepted my thighs and my round arms and my round stomach a little bit more? Probably."

"I think it's absolutely incredible that an iconic image in the fashion world, like Barbie, is keeping up with the times and following along with body diversity in such a big way," she finished.

The new doll is receiving a warm response, with Twitter users celebrating Mattel's move to further embrace body positivity. 

"I love the Ashley Graham Barbie doll! Finally a Barbie with curves! Thank you @theashleygraham for proving that beauty is more than 'skinny'" tweeted one fan. 

Fingers crossed that Mattel decides to produce the doll, and just in time for Christmas!
